Diana Drew first stepped out on stage singing and playing the guitar at age seven. She was trained vocally by her father, a professional opera singer with the New York City Centre Opera Co. At eleven years of age, three record companies were knocking on her door, but were declined in favour of a 'normal' childhood.
Diana is a one-of-a-kind vocal teacher with a warm and encouraging style of teaching. Her extensive experience and expertise and incredibly attuned ear make her uniquely qualified to help each and every student with whatever issue they may have, and to nuture their talent to the fullest. Not just a vocal coach, she teaches all aspects - mic and recording technique as well as stage presence, etc. Diana also has a professional grade recording studio on-site for students use during their lessons.Read more

Carlaw Conservatory, Markham's homegrown, family-owned music school, was born and raised in the heart of downtown Markham. It has lived on Main Street all it's life, since way back in the last century. For more than a quarter of a century, Carlaw Music has extended its services to the people of Markham, young and old. Our students range from young, inspired dreamers to older, retired gentlefolk exploring their inner music.
And through it all, the beating heart of The Carlaw Music Experience has been our band program. In that time we have formed and instructed scores of bands, and watched them mature and develop into highly entertaining acts, many of which continue to perform in Markham and beyond.
Jan and Penny are excellent instructors. They are so kind, patient and willing to work with any student. They have furthered my passion for music and I will always be thankful for my time with them!Read more
